GM candidates out, Mangini needs to discipline and more

Per Adam Schefter of NFL Network, both Scott Pioli and Tom Heckert are out as possible general manager candidates for the Browns.

Neither is surprising. What does come as something of a shock is the last part of Heckert's reasoning.

Heckert told the Browns he is canceling the interview that was scheduled for Friday because he doesn’t know Mangini and would not be entirely comfortable with the situation in Cleveland the way that it is.

That's no good.

Rick, over at Waiting for Next Year, wonders if Randy Lerner dropped the ball by not showing up for today's news conference.

Mangini needs to maintain his stance as a disciplinarian, writes Bill Livingston of the Plain Dealer.

Browns defensive coordinator Mel Tucker will interview with the Jacksonville Jaguars for the same job.

The Browns will be getting one of the Ryan coaching brothers, just the wrong one. At least that's what Mike Preston of the Baltimore Sun wrote in his blog today.

How can you not give one of the best defensive coordinators in your division, in the NFL, an interview?

Good question.
